CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire's attorney general says three Manchester police officers who fired their weapons at man who drove at them were justified in their use of deadly force.

Christopher Varagianis of Pembroke was sentenced earlier this year to 10-to-28 years in prison. The 37-year-old was convicted of five counts of reckless conduct after nearly hitting a paramedic, a pedestrian and three officers in June 2013.

Attorney General Joseph Foster's report Wednesday said several witnesses saw Varagianis ignore officers' repeated commands to stop his Jeep and show his hands, and that he drove toward them.

A total of nine shots were fired by the officers. Varagianis was treated for two gunshot wounds to the leg.
